6. Workshop Outputs Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies

7. ADAPTIVE CAPACITY Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies

8. ADAPTIVE CAPACITY w/ MITIGATION co-benefits Low emission agriculture Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies zero tillage organic cultivation reuse/recycle crop & livestock waste peat soils management intermittent irrigation planting of adaptive perennial crops increased feed quality for ruminants

9. Gaps, Limitations and Other Issues Lack / scarcity of national resources for RDE on CC  Extension and service at local level is not in place due to limited financial support  R&D funding is mainly from government  R&D topics are dominated by government, not driven by users Improve the availability of human and material resources for RDE in CC  Technicians cannot get timely training; their knowledge cannot meet the needs for agricultural development  Extensive migration of rural labor (250M people, 80% at age 20-50), difficult to access advanced technologies Lack of Incentives for the implementation of Environmental Adaptation and Mitigation strategies  No specific institutional platforms/arrangements for adaptation and mitigation in agricultural sector Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies

10. Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies extreme average temperatures uncontrollable pests & diseases ADAPTATION Integrated pest management Research on optimal physiology of crops & livestock Semi-controlled crop & livestock infrastructure Malaysian Raised Goat House - Ministry of Agriculture & Extension – Malaysia - Malaysia can take the lead on these

11. Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies more intense & frequent droughts more intense & frequent floods ADAPTATION Water requirement of Crops Water management/harvesting Early Warning Systems Thailand and Indonesia can take the lead on this: Thailand with SEA-START program Indonesia with its Integrated Cropping Calendar Delivery Systems

12. Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies more intense & frequent droughts more intense & frequent floods ADAPTATION Changes in Cropping Calendar Climate Adaptation Insurance Philippines can take the lead on this: with its weather-based recovery-fund and crop insurance risk transfer programs

13. Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies sea level rise saltwater intrusion ADAPTATION Appropriate lowland crops Salinity-tolerant aquaculture - Vietnam can take the lead on these

14. Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies increased carbon emissions ADAPTATION w/ MITIGATION co-benefits CSA - Low emission agriculture Reduce use of fertilizers, energy and water Chile can take the lead with their technology on Zero tillage Organic farming CHILE: Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions

15. Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies increased carbon emissions ADAPTATION w/ MITIGATION co-benefits Alternative wet-dry rice paddies New fertilizers Reuse/recycle crop & livestock waste China can take the lead with their household and large-scale biogas digesters

16. Symposium/Workshop on Planning a Collaborative Research, Development and Extension Program on Climate Change among APEC Member Economies increased carbon emissions MITIGATION Peat Management – Indonesia can take the lead

17. Overarching RDE Interests Improvement of seasonal climate forecasts Climate-Smart Agriculture Knowledge Sharing Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Inventory of relevant research programs – Peer-to-peer learning Trainings Information and experience sharing Research, comparative analysis Multi-hub learning alliance Pilot models Quantifying economic losses
